Entity collections

Introduction

Entity collection is a list that contains various attributes. For example, you can have an entity list Objects and another one for Activities. The list contains the entity attributes. The attributes follow a fixed syntax and always start with the prefix @[ and end with the suffix ]. Between prefix and suffix, you have to define the name of the attribute. The name is an alphanumeric character and may include a period separator, such as Math.Task.
